Taco Milagro, the Schiller Del Grande restaurant on Kirby, will close on Sunday, May 26, the restaurant group announced Wednesday.

“A lot has happened to Kirby in the past decade,” said Candice Schiller, one of the partners of the Schiller Del Grande Restaurant Group, which owns and operates Taco Milagro at Kirby and Westheimer. “It has become a street of upscale restaurants; most of them well financed multi-unit groups. Our littler counter service taco shop can’t pay those kinds of rents.”

The restaurant will close at the end of its 15-year lease. The last day will be May 26.

The group will look for a new version of Taco Milagro “somewhere a bit further out,” according to a statement.
